We Are Proud to Offer Solea Laser Dentistry

Solea is a dental laser that replaces the dental drill and the need to have a needle in the majority of procedures in our practice. It uses a specific wavelength of light only absorbed by water, tooth structure and bacteria to remove cavities from teeth. In fact, nearly every patient skips anesthesia because they just don’t need it. They also enjoy having an alternative option to the dental drill. The laser is also safe and highly effective to use on gum tissue for tissue sculpting (gingivectomies, crown lengthening, socket healing and more!) as it can remove infected or excess tissue without any bleeding. Solea is our way of keeping you happy. Because more than anything, we love to see you smile.

What is Solea?

Solea is the first CO2 dental laser system cleared by the FDA for hard and soft tissue procedures. It was developed in Boston, Massachusetts by Convergent Dental, based on research conducted at the University of California School of Dentistry. Solea offers a unique wavelength guided by sophisticated computers to deliver virtually painless dental procedures for both teeth and gums from simple cavities to complex surgeries. The experience is so unique that you will find it hard to believe you were just at a dental appointment.

Why Solea?

The majority of hard and soft tissue procedures in our office are done with virtually no anesthesia and soft tissue procedures are done with virtually no bleeding. Blood-free and anesthesia-free procedures represent a major leap forward in dentistry, as we are able to execute multi-quadrant dentistry, fillings on the fly, and soft tissue procedures in a single appointment. What does that mean for you, our patients? You are now able to receive the care you need in a fraction of the time. When patients have anesthesia they typically leave the office with that numb feeling still prevalent. With Solea, you are able to go right out to lunch or back to work without that numb sensation following your appointment. Solea is truly changing what it means to go to the dentist.
